The 24th term is 152

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$ , where

a is the first term
d is the common difference between consecutive terms

The third term means n = 3

∵ $a_3=a+(3-1)d$

∴ $a_3=a+2d$

∵ $a_3$ = 5

- Equate the right hand sides of the third term

∴ a + 2d = 5 ⇒ (1)

The fifth term means n = 5

∵ $a_5=a+(5-1)d$

∴ $a_5=a+4d$

∵ $a_5$ = 19

- Equate the right hand sides of the fifth term

∴ a + 4d = 19 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate a

∴ 2d = 14

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ d = 7

- Substitute the value of d in equation (1) to find a

∵ a + 2(7) = 5

∴ a + 14 = 5

- Subtract 14 from both sides

∴ a = -9

The twenty fourth term means n = 24

∵ a = -9 and d = 7

- Substitute the values of a and d in the formula of the nth term

∴ $a_24=-9+(24-1)(7)$

∴ $a_24=-9+(23)(7)$

∴ $a_24=-9+161$

∴ $a_24=152$

The 24th term is 152

Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the a

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

2) $\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

3) $z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

4) $z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

5) $z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

6) We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

7) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X represent the people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$p_o=0.41$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest) Part 1We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the area: Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

Part 2

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

Part 3

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.01 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

Part 4

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

Part 5

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.1 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

Part 6

We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Part 7

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Help!! Please im having trouble

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

1. 5/6 ≥ 2/3

2. 1/5 ≤ 2/8

3. 9/10 ≥ 6/8

4. I can't see it's out of the pic

5. 7/8 ≥ 5/10

6. 2/5 ≥ 2/6

7. 1/3 ≤ 3/8

8. I can't see it's out of the pic.

9. 8/10 ≥ 3/4

10. 3/8 ≤ 11/12

11. 2/3 ≤ 10/12

12. Can't see :(

13. 3/8 ≤ 7/8

14. 2/4 = 4/8

15. 6/8 ≥ 8/12

16. Can't see

Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator to make it into a decimal. For instance....

5/6 = approximately 0.83

I hope this helps you! It took forever....

The height of a tree trunk is 20 meters and the base diameter is 0.5 meter.

Temka [501]

Question a:

Mass = Density × Volume
Density = Mass/Volume

Volume of the tree trunk (the shape of Cylinder) = Area of circular base × height
Volume = [πr²] × h
Volume = [π × 0.25²] × 20
Volume = 3.93 m³

Density = 380 kg/m³

Mass = Density × Volume
Mass = 380 × 3.93
Mass = 1493.4 kg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question b)

The growth ring = 4 millimeters = 4÷1000 = 0.004
New diameter = 0.5 + 0.004 = 0.5004
New height = 20 + 0.2 = 20.2

New volume = [πr²] × h
New volume = [π × 0.2502²] × 20.2
New volume = 3.97 m³

What is the answer to this equation “A = ?” G(a + h) = M

sasho [114]

Answer:

a = M -Gh/G

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to make a the subject of fomular , you will open the bracket first and then combine the like terms.

G(a + h) = M

Ga + Gh = M

Ga = M - Gh

since G is disturbing a from standing alone, we divide both sides by G

Ga/G = M- Gh/ G

a = M -Gh/G
